Too bad, this IEM is not for me. I’m purely a carnivore. Tigers need not apply either.

I do love me some female poison though!

Dropped my detailed impressions of the TRN TA1 over at the TRN thread. You'll want to mosey over for the details, but the TL;DR of it is:

The Good:
  • Smooth, balanced, non-fatiguing tuning
  • Warm and rich tonality
  • Engaging and musical (subjective)
  • No harshness or metallic timbre
  • Actually decent imaging
  • Price-performance winner
The Bad:
  • Not enough bass for bassheads
  • Not enough treble for trebleheads
  • Included eartips are useless
  • Not great for laying on one's side with (shells are heavy enough that they may fall out on their own)
The Ugly:
  • MMCX longevity to be confirmed
Let me know if you have any questions! I may also offer some more formal listening comparisons with other IEMs in my collection at a later date, and eventually combine everything together into a proper showcase review.

Are SpinFits worth the hype? And what's the difference between models like the CP100, 145, 800 etc.? I am tempted to try them out but considering for one pair of SpinFits you could buy, what, 20 pairs of conventional silicone tips, I'm skeptical somewhat. I've been looking for non-terrible tips for my CCA CA16, though, so if they do the job, that would be awesome.

Spinfit has some positive reviews. Though I usually don't like how it presents the sound of some of my favorite earphones.

I liked them (CP145) 1-2 years ago. Now I prefer a few others to it.

Top 3 tips:
Final Audio Type E
Elecom EHP-CAP20
Radius Deep mount

Nowadays I kinda just use Sony hybrid tips. The Acoustunes I tried recently is decent too.

Not a fan of Type E, it usually reduces the treble for my ears. Maybe good for some peaky treble set but other than that, nah.

Then you should get the Radius Deep mount or the Elecom CAP20.
Cap 20 is more balanced between the Type E and the deep mount. While the Deep mount has more treble.
